Introduction
The year of my musical awakening and the year of turbulence that defined our nations
crossroads with unnecessary acts of aggression and war were one and the same (1968). The
draft required mass amounts of inner city young men to act as agents of nation building, the
red scare of communism turned out to be a red herring for the build-up of the Industrial
Military Complex (Why We Fight Netflix) using tactics of shock and awe and scorched
earth policies (total barbaric destruction of all living things) that had been used since the
pilgrims hit the shores of the eastern United States (and before that in history by the Vikings,
Mongols, King David in the Old Testament etc.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_and_awe)
[1].
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_earth
As war was broadcast on television for the first time, the graphic images and savagery of
war was born into the American consciousness. American military infantrymen began to rebel
against this mass murder and their leadership was questioned at all levels of morality, ethics,
and treatment to humanity as a whole. Many, if not most military men found these heinous acts
of war too extreme for their civilized senses, and began revolts, at first in small, innocuous

ways like symbols of peace signs and acronyms of FTR (F*@k the Army)[Appendix #4]. This
internal insurrection began to spread among the troops brought into indoctrinating chimes of
racial slurs and the standard training of de-humanization of all other forms of races, cultures
and civilizations. It was within this environment that my uncles, their friends and the walking
wounded of the Vietnam War built the residue of who I am today. I knew very little of the
war, its impact or it purposes or effects on my personal life as an eight-year-old child in 1968.
But the effects of the war on the men that walked through our familys doors left a life-long
impression. Vietnam and the Transformation of American Life (pp. 115-118) chronicles
the impact of Vietnam on un-enlisted men verses enlisted men, the recourse that eventually
followed with the demographics of men of brown or black color representing over fifty percent
(50%) of the rifle companies and fatalities while representing less than 20% of the U.S.
demographics of the time (see Appendix #3)[3]. (reported casualties experienced for the U.S.
in the Vietnam War: 58,000 casualties/deaths over the course of the war not including injuries
and loss of limb, mental condition and the after effects of war like cancer from Agent Orange
defoliant spray and 3 million, 270,000 deaths of Vietnamese citizens, the demographic
equivalent of U.S. population at that time to 27 million losses to life). http://icasualties.org/
The anti-war slogans ofWar What is it Good for Absolutely NOTHING [Say it
again] War. (see Appendix #5 for lyrics) [4] acted as propaganda, campaigns, activism
and unification of action and protest. Much of the so called turn on and fade out generation of
hippies were fighting for their lives and knew it. Vietnam and the transformation of
American Life (Buzzanco, 1999) tells the story that among soldiers in Vietnam, there was a
clear correlation between status and education relating to their chance of survival. Songs like
Credence Clearwater Revivals Fortunate Son[Lyrics Appendix #6] chronicled the

allowance of the facades of power & prestige hiding behind cowardice and cunning as
Military Reserve Heroes who were hidden behind the combat lines safe from harm, while the
nave serf public was used as bullet catchers and fodder for war. Then to add insult to
injury, we had to wait for them to come into power as Senators sons, their positions and power
held over by generations of their predecessors acting in their own self interest of incestuous
family of power. The result was the indiscriminate annihilation of populations of other races
due to discriminatory forces of the day.
The subtle rebellion of the musical advances ofJimi Hendrix (Who was patriotic about the
U.S.s ideology for the war, but against the human abuses he saw or experienced), acted as a
voice within the conflict and aided the cause whereas capitalistic monetary bands like the
Rolling Stones and the Beatles for the most part let the politics and narrative of the day roll on
without comment or criticism (Mick Jagger stated Its kind of STUPID to think you can
change the world or start a revolution with a song [wrong]. In American Composers during
the Vietnam Era (p. 38) it states;
Many elements that make a song powerful as a tool to influence public opinion.Arnold (1991a) contends that Music in general can certainly appeal to the emotions andexpress the general atmosphere of anger, anxiety and fear (p. 26). During the VietnamWar era, the power of song was stronger than ever. As Gleason (1969) wrote at the sametime, As I see it, the situation is plain, if you want to reach young people in this country(and revolutions are made by the young; the old make counter-revolution) then write asong, dont buy an ad or issue a statement [their minds and hearts are not there] (p.162). In a broader context, the song has some durable attributes that many would notimmediately consider; a song is immediate, small, easy to remember, makes a point quicklyand strategically, is portable, flexible, replicable in print and from memory, transferrable toother people and other languages and can last for generations. A song never goes out ofprint (Saint-Marie personal communication, July 11, 2008).
While it may not be possible to prove conclusively that protest music influenced
public opinion, the words of authors like Gleason, Saint-Marie, Seeger and many others
who lived through the Vietnam Era attest to the power of the music and the critical role it

played in American society during the 1960s. An early twentieth century labor organizer
put it this way; A pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once, but a
song is learned by heart and repeated over and over (Hill, quoted in Bragg, 1990). The
history and origins of protest songs, ballads and organization via song goes way back in
history;
Poetry and the Police: Communication Networks in Eighteenth-Century Paris (HarvardUniversity Press) describes how street songs mobilized public opinion in a largely illiteratesociety. Every day, Parisians improvised new words to old tunes, and the songs flewthrough the air with such force that they precipitated a political crisis in 1749. But how didtheir melodies inflect their meaning? After locating the musical annotations of a dozensongs, I asked a cabaret artist, Hlne Delavault, to record them for the electronicsupplement. The reader can therefore study the text of the songs in the book whilelistening to them online. The e-ingredient of an old-fashioned codex makes it possible to
explore a new dimension of the past by capturing its sounds.
The Beatles did a song Revolution, but stated You got the wrong guys if you
want US to aid this effort [paraphrase]. Although John Lennons Give Peace a Chance
rallied demonstrators and culled a response by the U.S. government at the time [Appendix
#7]. Jimi Hendrix represented the paradox between those who were against war [in general]
and those who were against the violence it represented and the purported cause that was
propagandized to the American public;
A key figure on the Rock and Roll end of the antiwar spectrum was Jimi Hendrix (19421970).
Hendrix himself was not an official protestor of the war; in fact, being a former soldier he
sympathized with the anticommunist view.[32] He did, however, protest the violence that took
place in the Vietnam War. With the song Machine Gun, dedicated to those fighting in
Vietnam, this protest of violence is manifest. David Henderson, author ofScuse Me While I
Kiss the Sky, describes the song as scary funk [] his sound over the drone shifts from a
womans scream, to a siren, to a fighter plane diving, all amid Buddy Miles Gatling-gun snare
shots. [] he says evil man make me kill you [] make you kill me although were only
families apart.[33]This song was often accompanied with pleas from Hendrix to bring the
soldiers back home and cease the bloodshed.[34]While Hendrixs views may not have been
analogous to the protestors, his songs became anthems to the antiwar movement. Songs

such as Star Spangled Banner showed individuals that you can love your country, but hate
the governments actions abroad.[35] Hendrixs anti-violence efforts are summed up in his
words: when the power of love overcomes the love of power... the world will know peace.
Thus, Hendrixs personal views did not coincide perfectly with those of the antiwar protestors;
however, his anti-violence outlook was a driving force during the years of the Vietnam War
even after his death (1970) (Cross, 2006 Henderson, 2009)
Bob Dylans Times are a changin and Blowing in the Wind acted as forces of
metaphor for resistance, but often time could not overtly state their aims due to Hoover-esque
counter-actions of sabotage and harassment by a very active FBI and CIA intelligence and counter-
culture initiatives against the type of resistance being formed (Dangerous Dossiers: Exposing the
Secret War against American Artists Mitgang, 1991). This Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) material shows the zeal of our government at the time, to act like a banana republic
dictatorship in spewing the hypocrisy of rule of law out of one side of its mouth, while using
underhanded devices of subterfuge and concealed interrogation and stasi like tactics of German
fascism to address the fears and control of our nations development. Among other things, the
assassination of Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and the riots at the
1968 Democratic National convention were elements of the chaos and tumultuousness of that
particular year and time-period. Americans wanted change and were at a boiling point for insisting
on it. The leaders that would suppress or oppress this insurrection were no longer able to control
the public through violence or appeasement of rhetoric. With white people not being the only
voting class and black power rising in more vocal and persuasive ways, often it boiled down to
blacks and young people to make up the margins of victory for the vote. Voting held the leash of
power, but the realization of social unrest and a lack of order made the response by government,
much like the response of people today, about the current fiscal cuts inspired by large financial

institutions greed and larceny, a boiling point for action. The budget shortfalls across the nation
that affected all state budgets and income in a universal deflationary way now, are analogous to the
actions and impetus of government cause and effect leading to internal turmoil and sparking civic
actions.
Hixson, Walter (2000) The Vietnam Antiwar Movement (Page 23) New York. GarlandPublishing. Books.google.com Web. 31 March. 2011. wrote;
Melvin Small declares the antiwar movement of the United States from 1965-1971 was the mostsignificant movement of its kind in American History. In The Impact of the Anti-war Movementon Lyndon Johnson, Small leaves little doubt that the domestic opposition had a major effect onthe administrations conduct of foreign policy.
Like the abolitionist and suffrage movement of the early 20
th
century finding like-mindedobjectives to get a vote in American politics, Black leaders of the time, especially Martin LutherKing saw this as an opportunity to link the violence and brutality of American policies towardsblacks and people of color to the violence being perpetrated in Vietnam (Hixson, p. xiv).By aligning a narrower objective of racial rights and the behavior of white Americas behavior tothe assault on innocent Vietnamese citizens, the ability to criticize and link the two on a world-wide basis acted as a cohesive illustration of U.S. policy and brutality.Harrison argues that this really hurt the civil rights movement, but the strategic value of aligninglarger amounts of young whites to resist the action of being drafted and the strong potential for theloss of life, limb or mental liberty aroused the unity of larger societal forces that garnered themedias attention and brought the fight into the streets as protest marches.
The Presidents private army of CIA operatives acting at home and abroad were motivated byfunding issues and concerns [to keep their jobs] to discredit antiwar leaders and to go along withthe Johnson administration.
The known saying of All Politics Are Local came to bear as authors Garner, Segura andWilkening employed quantitative methods and opinion surveys that showed that individualperceptions of war showing casualties drove individual perception into a wider berth audience ofinfluence, and the impact of that opinion of war more significant than earlier recognized (Hixson p.xv). The juxtaposition of the Pentagon propaganda machine selling the war was offset by antiwaractivist launched by advertising campaigns to unsell the War, thus uniting students and MadisonAvenue professional to aid in the antiwar sentiment growing at that time. The release of thePentagon Papers showing the U.S.s secret involvement across four presidential
administrations fostered a distrust for the rhetoric that had been insincerely given and began
the long road of distrust between words and actions that presidents had walked between
easily as questionable as a result of this disclosure of secret tyranny. Critics labeled theseactions the imperial presidency in the actions of the presidency thwarting the Congress and theU.S. public.
In an effort to protect its congressional mandate to declare war, congress passed the 1973War Powers Act, calling on the president then to obtain congressional approval within 90 days ofcommitting U.S. troops to a conflict. This reactionary, but ineffective deterrent to waging war and
8

declaring even vague and ambiguous wars on terror left too much power in too few hands. Thelegislation did not resolve the issue, as a series of legal challenges supported by a corruptSupreme Court upheld challenges that extended up to the current day. Hence the wrenchingVietnam experience would continue to shape the contours of debate on military affairs, executive-
legislative relations and public opinion as a precedent setting distrust of government and the
abuse of power for years to come (Hixson p. xvi)
The employed and haves once again walked away wounded of their excess assets, but
the asset-less had none to spare and were crippled. It was hard to ascertain fact from fiction in this
unstable era of dis-content, the culture had been turning away from government control, the actions
of an unjust war that required no authorization or permission by the American Public to support
such a war, since many of the statistics were mis-represented, dis-information campaigns were
disguised by presidential administrations to allow public sentiment to stew. The on-going abuses of
power to disguise and distort the reporting on the true casualties and loss of life to those who were
most affected created a back-lash of public outcry. Janis Joplins CRY CRY BABY became an
anthem of the mothers with military decorations of heroic medals and gold stars who wept for the
loss of their sons and the poor neighborhoods that had opportunity shoveled to them to deal with
the unemployment and poverty issues of America in disposing of its less that superior races with
the of consent of Anglo power mongers. This quasi-planned genocide of non-Anglo based
citizenry understood the conditions and responded in kind.
When the Animals Weve got to get out of this Place became the anthem to withdrawal
from Vietnam, the culmination of public sentiment, the later Watergate fiasco and over 500,000
active military men rebelling in numerous unreported ways (Sir, NO sir! Documentary)[3]
began to snowball into the movement that was the failure of the government to control, isolate
and make men commit brutal acts of barbarism. That sky warfare and the ability to use drones
and un-manned piloted vehicles (that we use today) to detach the man from the impact of the
9
7/31/2019 HUM523 Final Caldwell ORGL - Protest Music 05-11-2010

mission became the new superlative method of destruction. The forces of rock and roll and folk
music converged to create a sense of solidarity in guiding the anti-war movement, acting as
iconic figures of popular culture and to keep the movement and inspiration of resistance in tact
for the generation that was to be recruited that followed (Arnold, 2011).
It did not take a huge leap to go from protest songs to the blues. The war situation
infuriated many of those who were made to go, but held out hope to those who were there
instigating from within and creating chaos, pandemonium and rebellion. This unrighteous war
gave them many generational tools and abilities they needed to not just complain and sing the
blues, but to empower life on both ends of the spectrum. The blues became to soldiers what
spirituals had to field-hand slaves of the pre-civil war era; hope, determination and a voice to
see that oppression and empowerment went hand-in-hand. The fragging elements of giving
weapons to the very men you were forcing to go to die made for a precarious situation. The
blues were sung among service men like a dirge before death. There was no race, culture or
origin to the blues of the service men sent into the bush. They knew they were as much the
enemy to the other side as they were (whoever the label of the day THE Viet Cong or the
VC; CHARLIE). Most of the people and villagers knew one thing: If they encountered U.S.
or Vietnamese forces, regardless of circumstance, they were going to die. The relentless
saughter of women and children, old people and the Mi Lai massacres
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_Massacre) spread the rumor to all of Vietnams
inhabitants: fight for your lives or be tortured or killed by either or BOTH sides for not
fighting or siding with them. Since everyone was used in this guerilla warfare, even the
smallest child was used to offer shoe shining services (with a grenade in the shoe shine box to
blow off the limb of a soldier), no one or no living thing could be trusted alive. This was a no-

win situation for the citizens caught in the middle, so they just fought both sides with all of their
effort and the available tools at their disposal, both sides killing and maiming mindlessly in the
Fog of War (See Appendix #8). There were no clear ethics or morals, just pure survival
tactics of guerrilla warfare and slaughter. One side had napalm, Agent Orange as chemical
warfare and big bombs (The U.S.), the other side had a presence around the clock through the
tunnels and underground trafficking setup over a thousand years of continuous battle. This was
the perfect formula for genocide or annihilation; no one was getting out alive.
Summary
We have let the world go onto too long without intervention. Our ideology in politics either
takes us too far in the sensibility of religious crusades and protectionist fascist fear or too little
by keeping from getting dirty in the political process of local/state-wide/national and global
politics of give and take. President Obama acts as a figure head to our future, in leaderships
style, decision and exertion of power locally and abroad. His exercising of power locally,
nationally and internationally is of much interest to everyone except for perhaps the protected
bubble of The American Dream and the mythology of anesthetization that it produces.
Whatever form of involvement that we partake in, we need to understand and value the
propagation of values that are universal to all of us as a free people of this country we call the
United States of America.
If we are so distracted by our toil, our desire for riches as the only expression of freedom
being greed and economic gain, than our lost fight has no future legs. BUT, if we see ourselves
aright, enslaved by our own ignorance of susceptibility to business leaders and political leaders
that feed us a vision of what they want us to have [debt for economic power via a large economy

of much wasted spending] so we can be distracted and content, then the very liberties we have
embraced and fought for are being lost daily and will continue to erode. Do we need to feel the
war protest songs and the harshness of the whip on our own backs, or are we lazily willing to
let this atrocity of irresponsibility pass to the future generations of our country to wait our their
insurrection of this insurmountable un-sustainability?
This musical journey was a historical lesson of lessons not learned. We are still
assimilating the violations of the past in post-colonial and post-modern discourses while being
slowly boiled like a frog. The lessons of the past leave us impotent to make the necessary
changes towards the future. Knowledge gave us nothing but education, civilization comes from
acting. As we center our gaze on the activities of the East and their actions of attaining a new
form of freedom, we should remember that we are far from what we envisioned as free from
the financial and economic forces that have shaped where we are at today. With any luck and a
bit of involvement, we can continue to rebuild the path to sustain a form of economic freedom
and to cease being held in cycles of war and violence for the retention of resources and the
ability to live as what we have considered free lives.

appear in its most militant forms among the poor and working class people in urban slums andwithin the army itself?

"Blowin' in the Wind" is a song written byBob Dylan and released on his albumThe Freewheelin' Bob Dylanin 1963. Although it has been described as
a protest song, it poses a series of questions about peace, war and freedom. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been
described as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind" .[2]
In 1999, the song was inducted into theGrammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked #14 onRolling Stonemagazine'slist of the "500 Greatest Songs of
All Time".
(Dylan)How many roads must a man walk downBefore you call him a manHow many seas must the white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand
chorusThe answer, my friend, is blowing in the windThe answer is blowing in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look upBefore he can see the skyYes, and how many ears must one man haveBefore he can hear people cry
chorusThe answer, my friend, is blowing in the windThe answer is blowing in the wind
Well, how many years can a mountain existBefore it is washed to the seaAnd how many years can some people existBefore they're allowed to be free

The Times They Are a-Changin'
The Times They Are a-Changin'is singer-songwriterBob Dylan's thirdstudio album, released in January 1964 byColumbia Records.
Produced byTom Wilson, it is thesinger-songwriter's first collection to feature only original compositions. The album consists mostly of stark, sparsely-
arranged story songs concerning issues such as racism,poverty, andsocial change.The title trackis one of Dylan's most famous; many felt that it
captured the spirit of social and political upheaval that characterized the 1960s.
Some critics and fans were not quite as taken with the album as a whole, relative to his previous
work, for its lack of humor or musical diversity. Still,The Times They Are a-Changin'entered the
United States chart at twenty, eventually going gold, and belatedly reaching four in theUnited
Kingdomin 1965.
Bob Dylan. Times they are a Changin.
Come gather 'round peopleWherever you roam
And admit that the watersAround you have grownAnd accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and criticsWho prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wideThe chance won't come again
And don't speak too soonFor the wheel's still in spinAnd there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.For the loser nowWill be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmenPlease heed the call
Don't stand in the doorwayDon't block up the hall
For he that gets hurtWill be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'.It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your wallsFor the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathersThroughout the landAnd don't criticize
What you can't understandYour sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road isRapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new oneIf you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawnThe curse it is castThe slow one nowWill later be fast
As the present nowWill later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one nowWill later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
John Lennon, Give Peace A Chance. Give Peace a Chance
Appendix #1
1. We Shall Remain [pbs.org/Netflix] Tactics of Shock & Awe demonstrated when theEuropeans burned down a whole village of native-American men, women and children.The Native Americans were dumb-struck by this form of barbarianism and began workingon getting rid of Europeans on the east coast as a result. A non-white exclusiveinvestigation into history that is not told exclusively by a white, European Male.
2. The Movie The Patriot also delves into the use of this technique used on both sides todevastate the will of the enemy by cutting of ears, fingers and heads to desecrate the humanbody and form to create disgust, horror and shock & awe to opponents. The Britishused these techniques on the rebelling colonies and the patriots defending their new
country retaliated in kind. Like the Hatfields and McCoy feuds, these responses arecarved and etched in the history of many battles and many countrys continued ill willtoday. Hence the heinous acts of [genocidal] history are erased by the victors to subduetheir enemies and go forward with forms of force, coercment and oppression in moredisguised forms.

War...What Is It Good For? Absolutely Nothing!
20th Century Masters: The Best of Edwin Starr (Millennium Collection) by Edwin
Starr (Audio CD - 2001) - Original recording remasteredBuy new: $9.29
23 newfrom $5.178 used from $5.99
One of the most popular and blatant anti-war protest songs ever recorded. It was firstrecorded in 1969 by Edwin Starr and then again in 1986 by Bruce Springsteen. That song,
so powerful and relevant to the Vietnam War, is also perfectly suited to the situation inwhich America finds itself today in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Wouldn't it be just great if someone once again recorded this powerful protest song? It just
might jump-start the anti-war movement and wake up the American people to the horrorsof war. And here are the lyrics of that most powerful message conveyed to the Americanpeople during a very dark period in our history:

WarWhat is it good for

That anti-war protest song packed so much power about the evils of war that it proved to be
a major motivating factor in eventually bringing the Vietnam War to an end. Whether it's
another protest song or some other anti-war motivating strategy, we need millions moreAmericans to protest the war in Afghanistan demand that it be brought to an end.
Recent developments and reports coming out of Afghanistan strongly indicate that the war
is going very badly as the Taliban is growing in strength and rapidly gaining the advantage.Based on that fact and other developing evidence, more and more writers, the national
media and politicians (even some prominent GOP leaders) are coming to the starkrealization that America cannot continue to waste its monetary and human resources on a
totally futile, misguided war. The signs are beginning to point in the right direction.
So, in conclusion, War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,Ooo, they send you down to war, yall.And when you ask them, how much should we giveOoo, they only answer more! More! More! Yall.
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no military son, Son.It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, one.
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no fortunate one. No, no, no.It aint me, it aint me, I aint no fortunate son. No, no, no.
Origin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortunate_Son_(song)
The song was inspired by David Eisenhower, the grandson of PresidentDwight David Eisenhowerwho marriedJulie Nixon, the daughter of
PresidentRichard Nixon, in 1968.[3]John FogertytoldRolling Stone: "Julie Nixon was hanging around with David Eisenhower, and you just had the feeling
that none of these people were going to be involved with the war. In 1969, the majority of the country thought morale was great among the troops, and like
eighty percent of them were in favor of the war. But to some of us who were watching closely, we just knew we were headed for trouble." [4]
This song was popular during theVietnam Warand is included in several Vietnam films and video games. The song symbolizes the thoughts of a man
who is beingdrafted. Thisspoke out against the war in Vietnam. It is sung from the perspective of one of these men (who is not the son of aSenator,
millionaire, or military leader, thus not a "fortunate son"), who ends up fighting in the Vietnam War.
Fogerty performed the song in front of PresidentBill Clinton, and was broadcast on US TV, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorialduring the "America's
Millennium" show on December 31, 1999.
Rolling Stoneranked the song #99 on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
On Fogerty's 2007 album Revival, the song "I Can't Take It No More", which speaks out against theIraq War, implicitly links the Iraq and Vietnam wars by
referring toGeorge W. Bushas a fortunate son.

Vietnam: A Television History(2004) NR
Fascinating and heart-wrenching in its attention to detail, this in-depth documentary, which first aired on public television in 1983,
unfolds in all its painful glory the American military bte noire that is Vietnam. The show chronicles the country's failed efforts to install
an anti-Communist government, a losing battle almost from the moment it started as soldiers grappled with unfamiliar terrain, guerrilla
tactics, murky politics and more.
